Who would have thought, here Liu Qingrang also came to Yuqi Mountain, seeking the way, and enjoying the scenery.

It turned out that since Liu Qingrang took over as the young pastor of Jianxing, he found that he actually had nothing to do. I went to follow the yamen a few times, and found that although the people in the northwest were strong, there was the Yongning Royal Mansion in Jianxing, and the public security was very good, everything was in order, and there was no need to meddle at all.

The governors all said that if they really encountered difficulties, the snow riders stationed in the city would be solved, and there was no need for the government to worry about it.

Liu Qingrang thought about it, and then went to the county guard's mansion, Cai Junshou was polite, chatted with him for an afternoon, commented on the customs of the northwest, and mentioned a few words about the way of being an official.

When he came, he also asked his son-in-law, Zhao Tong, the captain of the school, to take him to Chunyang Pass to enjoy the northwest scenery of the "lonely smoke of the desert" and "the sunset of the long river".

It's just that Zhao Tong came from a family of military generals, and he never looked down on these literati and writers, even if he was reprimanded by the prince several times, he was respectful, but he still disliked and ridiculed behind his back, because the two did not get along well along the way.

Liu Qingrang was full of depression, and wanted to enjoy the scenery quickly and return to the city as soon as possible. I didn't want to go to Chunyang Pass, but I was surprised by the enthusiasm of the defenders.

The Chunyang guard went around Liu Qingrang twice, and after making sure that it was not General Qin who came back, he let go and turned his back, and the old general in his fifties was in tears.

remembered that when there was a huge disparity in troops, he and General Qin held the pass for seven days, and dragged the Beiyin Booster Army alive. It's just that the spring breeze is in the sun, and the pass is still there, but the general will never come back......

After Liu Qingrang's identity was clear, and he learned that he was General Qin's cousin, he no longer cared about the prince's taboo, and he was stunned by the good wine and meat, and he pulled Liu Qingrang to drink for three days and three nights.

In those days, Liu Qingrang was always drunk and dreamed of not knowing where he was, rows of sergeants toasting one after another, everyone was full of tears, looking at themselves, as if they were not looking at themselves.

But in the end, he was carried by a passion that he had never encountered in his life. In the dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy for joy.

Before leaving, the defenders of Chunyang Pass actually lined up to see each other, their weapons unsheathed, and the war drums thundered.

Liu Qingrang turned around and looked at each other, most of the soldiers turned their backs, and the 30,000 soldiers who were not afraid of blood and tiredness were all shrugged on their shoulders, and the men did not say tears, but if the love was deep, the crying was suppressed, but it was shaking the mountains, crying that the battle was tragic and tragic, and crying that the 6,000 Wuling men who had met to drink wine and eat meat would never come back......

Red face tears, soldiers' hearts, what about soldiers' tears?

The young general who guarded Chunyang Pass with one knife and one knife had ever returned to the pass, but he complained about the treachery of the wind cavalry? Do you still recognize these dead and living brothers?

Liu Qingrang didn't understand why the people of Chunyangguan were so good to him, but he also vaguely felt that the person they respected was not him, but in his heart, he silently regarded Chunyangguan as another home, thinking that when he was free, he would go to sit again.

When he returned to Jianxing, Liu Qingrang inevitably continued to be bored, and went to the state pastor's mansion again, but the state pastor was a lot perfunctory, only saying that he should read more books, and he could go to the academy to preach if he had nothing to do.

The more idle, the more Liu Qingrang likes to dream, in addition to dreaming back to Chunyangguan, he thinks about the fairies he met in the palace that day, but he doesn't know how to find people.

After wandering for several days, there was really nothing to do, Liu Qingrang went to the academy to find Master Wen to play chess, back and forth, and turned out to win, so annoyed that Master Wen turned around and left, and said that he would seal chess for a year.

Helpless, Liu Qingrang had no choice but to press down with the "official authority" that he didn't know whether he had or didn't have it, and pulled several other masters to discuss, from the ancient god emperor to the first monarch of the Ying Kingdom who unified the Northern Continent, and then from the Tai-Zu Yecheng who founded Dayong to Huizong, who is now succeeding to the throne, and talked about the past and the present, and was stunned for several days. Said that the masters were ashamed of themselves, so he lied that there was a Taoist chief of the previous dynasty on Yuqi Mountain, and let Zhuang Yuanlang go to the mountain for two days, maybe he would meet it, and he would also seek Zen and enlightenment.

Liu Qingrang thought that since he had nothing to do, he would try his luck, so he took dry food and wine jugs and ran to Yuqi Mountain. After wandering alone for a long time, the fairy road was not encountered, but he found a maple forest, which was already red, so he became interested, drank some wine, sprinkled a poem on the maple forest, and then staggered, found a quiet place, and fell asleep.

This sleep is half a day, the sunset gradually dyes the sky, Liu Qingrang slowly woke up, ready to go up the mountain again, no matter what, he has to find something.

Suddenly, I heard a brass bell-like laughter, and looked around, only to see two girls, wearing snow-white cloaks, walking in the maple forest, which turned out to be a beautiful painting.

Liu Qingrang thought to himself, didn't he meet a fairy in the forest. He straightened his clothes, took two steps closely, and said loudly, "Xiaosheng Liu Qingrang, Jiangnan people, first arrived in the northwest, I don't want to meet fairies, I don't know if I can meet them." ”

Ye Xingcan took Lingxiang and watched while walking, listening to Lingxiang talk about strange people and strange things outside, it was also fun, and suddenly heard someone behind him, so he turned around.

At first glance, I couldn't help but be stunned, it was the man in Xuanyi I met by the lake that day, raising his hand to salute, and his demeanor was handsome.

Ye Xingcan pursed his lips, the inexplicable strangeness in his heart, as if he was suddenly hit by a giant hammer, his heart was in a trance, it was a taste that he had never had.

After Liu Qingrang saw the woman's face clearly, he stayed in the local area in surprise, and his face couldn't help but blush. After a long time, he took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed cautiously, "Miss, as soon as I saw the Yongning Palace, Xiaosheng has always been thinking about you, I, I have been looking for you, I can't ask left and right, and I thought that I would never meet again in this life." ”

Lingxiang saw Liu Qingrang's expression, and remembered that this scholar was always a little similar to the person who was "sealed" in the young lady's heart, and she was a little worried in her heart, so she stood in front and said, "Who are you, you don't kneel down when you see Princess Yongning." ”

Liu Qingrang heard the word "princess", and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

Ye Xingcan looked at the man in front of him, for some reason, his eyes were sour, and his mind didn't know where he went, but he felt that there seemed to be flowers blooming around him, and it seemed that the ice was cracked, and his heart seemed to be filled, and it seemed to be empty, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or cold, and he covered his chest, as if he couldn't find any traces of beating.

Seeing that neither of them moved nor spoke, Lingxiang tugged on Ye Xingcan's sleeve, but found that unconsciously, the young lady looked at the man in front of her and wept sadly.

Lingxiang stabilized her mind, added strength to her hand, held Ye Xingcan's wrist hard, and whispered, "Miss, it's time to go home, or the prince should be in a hurry." ”

Ye Xingcan came back to his senses at this time, rubbed his eyes, looked at the tears on his hands, and seemed to be at a loss, not knowing why he was crying, looking at the man in front of him, and asked softly, "You really have never seen me before?" But he didn't know that his voice trembled.

Liu Qing settled down, sad in his heart, and finally found the fairy in his dream, it turned out to be the princess of King Yongning, who felt that God was very unfair, and when he heard the woman ask if he had seen it before, he was strange, but he still said the truth, "Except for the day when Yanfei Lake was destined to see him, I have never seen it again." After thinking about it, he added, "Xiaosheng Liu Qingrang is the newly appointed young pastor of Jianxing. ”

Ye Xingcan didn't seem to hear it, his feet were light and heavy, he staggered to his side, raised his hand and gently stroked his face, "Is it you?" You're coming back to me? ”

Lingxiang didn't wait for Liu Qingrang to react, so she rushed forward and pulled Ye Xingcan back, "Miss, wake up...... Miss, I'm Lingxiang......"

Ye Xingcan's heart was in a trance, and he raised his eyes to look at Lingxiang but smiled bitterly, "Is my hysteria serious again?" He took a deep breath, shook his head, returned the salute with Liu Qingrang, and hurriedly prepared to leave.

Liu Qingrang was anxious, so he chased after him, saying that he was on the same road.

Along the way, Liu Qing gave up countless topics, and he was not idle for a moment, but Ye Xingcan was always thoughtful, although he tried to answer, but he did not match the preface and the afterword, and he was shocked to see Lingxiang.

I finally got to the palace, but I didn't want to just get to the door, but I saw King Yongning wearing a battle robe, white clothes and silver guns, and rode out.

Ye Yao was about to rush to Cangge City to inspect, but suddenly received an urgent report from the front line, but the spies in Beiyin were missing more than ten people, so he couldn't wait for Ye Xingcan to return home, and hurriedly set off with Yang Jun.

I didn't want to just leave the house, so I saw Ye Xingcan and Liu Qingrang coming back together.

Ye Yao frowned slightly, hurriedly reined in the horse rope, stopped Shengsheng, scooped Ye Xingcan into his arms, put it in front of him, and said, "This king still has a military, so I won't entertain Lord Shaomu, please take care of yourself." The words were closed, and with a wave of the horsewhip, he walked away.

Liu Qingrang looked at the flying dust raised by the horse's hooves, full of grievances, until he couldn't see anything, and then turned around and walked towards the Shaomu Mansion.

Ye Yao tightened the saddle rope with one hand, wrapped the other hand around Ye Xingcan's waist, rested his chin on her head, and said softly, something happened on the front line, I want to leave home for a few days, it's good to send me out of the city.

Ye Xingcan seemed to have finally come back to his senses, only to feel that the arms behind him were solid and warm, and remembered that when they grew up, the two had not ridden together for a long time, so they shrank into Ye Yao's arms. Nodding slightly, he told him to take care of himself outside and come back early.

Ye Yao took the secret guard Yang Jun and 10,000 snow iron horsemen, day and night, and rushed to Cangge City, only to see that the generals in the military tent were already in place.

Ye Yao raised his eyes, thinking that the last time so many people gathered in Cangge City was three years ago, when Beiyin raised 400,000 troops to attack, his father sat in Jianxing, Qin Mo guarded Chunyang Pass, and most of the people standing on the Cangge city wall with him were veterans.

In the past three years, a generation of veterans has passed away, and new ones have continued to emerge. Yang Jun, Kong San, Wang Ba, Zhou Tan, and even the brothers Shen Qiubai and Shen Chun who are now stationed in Jianxing, and Qin Yan, the leader of the shadow department lurking in Beiyin, all showed their prominence in that battle, and continued to sharpen in the next three years, and gradually came to the front of the wind and snow horses, received a seal, led a city soldier, and protected the people.

Seeing that King Yongning had not spoken for a long time, the generals were also in deep thought, and they couldn't help but think of the great battle three years ago, when hundreds of thousands of soldiers buried their bones in the loess, and Yongbei did not go to war again in three years.
